National Masturbation Month: The history of the vibrator

We think it just might lead to a steamy night even before your toys of choice are delivered. Read about these satisfying picks below, and you might just choose to stay in for your next date night. The Iroha Mini Vibe is your perfect pocket-sized travel buddy, and not just because it comes in this adorable strawberry-hued colorway. This mini vibrator has only one vibration setting, but we believe that’s all you need to get your rocks off, no matter where you are.

The ergonomic design and soft silicone construction ensure comfortable wearability, while the remote control feature allows for effortless operation. With its whisper-quiet motor and versatile stimulation options, the Magic Nyx is an essential companion for spontaneous encounters and thrilling escapades. As it would turn out, the best beginner’s wand vibrator is also one of the most high-tech—but precisely because that tech’s benefits are so effortlessly accessed by the user. We-Vibe’s Wand 2 uses haptic technology, which is just a fancier way of saying that it will respond to pressure from your hand or body with equally-intense vibrations.

It’s a reliable vibrator with an unassuming yet modern look, and it’s never let me down. This toy is a clit sucker, meaning that it provides suction stimulation for pleasure as opposed to vibration. As I stated in my review of BuzzFeed’s Air Vibe, I’m not a huge fan of clit suckers.

You can choose from a variety of pre-made models on-site, or even build your own. Clitoral suction toys can be a bit of a mystery if you’re unfamiliar with their ins and outs. Vibrators contain motors that provide the vibration by just stimulating via shaking, but a suction toy is a little more complex. For many of us, finding creative ways to use long distance toys can help keep the spark alive.

“It’s not exactly a traditional vibrator, but many women swear by it,” says Mioch. Its design and compact shape mean it can be used for any area that calls out for sucking, from the clit to the nipples. With 8 settings to try, you can actually pair the Tiani 3 with other Lelo toys to give you and your partner the same vibrating experience on different devices.

Also neat is that half of the underbelly is ridged, for some added texture. He also independently reviews new products in the wellness space for Good Housekeeping, which he has done previously for Martha Stewart Living and Cooking Light. These testers evaluated aspects like connectivity vibrators, ease of use, adaptability and flexibility for personal use in the bedroom, and upkeep and cleaning aspects after intimacy. Reviews were coordinated over the span of a minimum of two weeks, if not longer.

In vintage modes, the Viberator really favors the deep, bottom-heavy intensity that some folks treasure in vintage Uni-Vibes. On the Viberator, this deep, bass-heavy throb and pulse is apparent even in the lowest reaches of the intensity setting. Switching to the modern voice, however, puts the buffer to work—attenuating the low end, emphasizing the high end, and adding a more spacious, clean quality to the modulation. For players who switch between single-coils and humbuckers, or use darker amps, this mode can really open up the Viberator’s possibilities. Better still, the modern voice can be fine-tuned using the bright trimpot.

The Pom is meant to fit in the palm of the user’s hand (get it?), making it compact and easy to control. The toy can bend for general or targeted clitoral stimulation with a pointed edge that juts out in the top of the toy. This tiny but mighty blob from sexual wellness brand Dame has five intensities and five patterns, laid out in the user manual — which isn’t something I can say about every toy. Finn confessed that the Womanizer isn’t technically a vibrator, but judging from her recommendation and that of many lists, no one cares. „If you’ve read any articles on sex toys recently, you’ve probably heard about ’suction‘-style toys, sex toys that use air pulsation to deliver targeted pleasure ,“ said Finn.

I tested the Cherry Emojibator and the Strawberry Emojibator to see if the adorable toys were worth the purchase—and the results surprised me. Since it has a strong grip on me, it stays in place whether I’m on top of my partner or the other way around. If it would be more satisfying for my partner an inch or two higher, our bodies have to move, because the vibrator can’t. The rotating nubs at the bottom are also cleverly designed to press against the base of the penis, right where it meets the scrotum. They’re flexible enough to position easily, yet they hold their position wherever you leave them. The most stark difference between the Tenuto Mini and its predecessor is that it lacks the large, mound-like base that was designed to sit underneath its wearer’s perineum.
